1. No.
2. Yes.
They open the seating to FP guests well before the standby (walk-up) guests.
FP guests have a much better choice of seating.
I recommend that with a FP you arrive 45 minutes before the show start-time
and be lined up and ready to enter when they open the doors.
They just let you in slightly earlier, so that way you get first pick at the seats. If sitting close to you is important, sure it's good. But I've done standby most of the time and gotten close seats (usually a small party though, so not as big as yours).

If by "close seats" you mean first or second row, those are generally the least desirable at the Nemo Musical, and often the last taken.
The stage is very high and shorter guests (especially kids) can have blocked views caused by the tall stage floor.
The more sought-after seats are those along the center-stage in-house thrust runway, and those behind the
central-house Left-Right walkway.
With a group that big, YES, FP it. You get into the theater before the stand-by guests do. We FP'd it last year and it was nice to have so much more room to pick from upon entering the theater. Trust me, you will not regret it.
I think the Nemo Musical is very good and completely worth taking the time for. However, if you haven't been before, you should know that you need to allow about two hours total for the attraction. The early arrival for a good seat, plus the ~ forty minutes of show time.
We didn't FP+ the show and got in the stand-by line about 30 minutes prior to show time. When we got in we were able to find seats in the first row in the second tier which is where we like to sit because some of the performers come into the audience. The show is delightful and if you like Broadway style musical theater you will love it. Cheers!!!
